Lee Dixon jokes Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta ‘needs to put his willy away’ as ill-timed training photo emerges
MIKEL ARTETA needs to sort out Arsenal's dodgy defence - but without showing off his own tackle this time.
Lee Dixon, 55, joked the new Gunners boss needs to "put his willy away" after an ill-timed photograph from training surfaced online.
Arsenal fans have been reminiscing about Arteta's playing days after he was announced as the new manager on Friday.
One fan decided to share some pics from his time in north London - where he played from 2011 until 2016.
Club legend Alan Smith quoted the tweet and wrote: "Loving these pics!"

But Dixon, who spent 14 years with Arsenal, decided to troll the former Manchester City boss.
The 55-year-old mistook Arteta's finger for his penis as it cheekily poked out from behind his shorts.
He wrote: "MA needs to put his willy away!"
One shocked fan replied: "That photo is now ruined, cheers Lee."
Another added: "Now that, right there, is huge power play."
And one asked: "Willy or won't he be a success?"
Some fans claimed the badly timed snap of Arteta reminded them of club legend Arsene Wenger.
Wenger also suffered the same fate when his finger appeared to hang out of his zipper as he was barking orders from the sidelines.
